On the way, the two little happy "girls, four and six years oI"d, sang their little songs, among them "My Country, Tis of Thee," and the lady and gentle man asked and urged the eldest to sing the "Star Spangled Banner," that she often sang at home. After much persua sion she finally said: "Why, I couldn't sing it, for if I did, the chauffeur sitting outside would have to stand up and then the automobile Mould stop." Really, little children are cleverer and wiser in their thinking than we give them credit for. If the old nations at war with America and our boys at the front could see on the streets and in our buildings all over the United States and every day in the year the people uncover their heads and standH1i silence while the "Star Spangled Banner" is played or .sung, they would know that America was never before so much alive with patriotism or so thoroughly determined to win out for the cause of freedom as now. It is in the very life" of this Store to do something more than sell the goods it provides so carefully and advertises so fairly. Signed '.' August 7, 1918.

It has been our purpose to make a furniture sale in which it would be impossible for anybody wanting good furniture not to find it at a saving in price. We feel we have accomplished that purpose, and we are proving it in the sale which we are now holding. For everybody needing good furniture it brings the problem down to the simplest form; it leaves no room for doubt or mystery it leaves nobody the shadow of an excuse for being puzzled as to whether one is getting as much for one's money as it is possible to get. This sale makes it wholly unnecessary 'for anybody to get less. This is the sale in which the least you can get is the most to be had any where for the money. In saying which we are not trying to coin a slogan or catch phrase, but merely stating a fact of which we have proof tangible and not to be gain said. .We have taken it for granted that the least you want for your money is the most you can obtain for it in tli3 solid constructive quality that means prolonged service and in the good looks and presentableness of which there is all too little in every home. We have seen to it that in this sale you can get the most in quality, in, service, in good looks and desirableness. It is for you to see that you do not get less. We have in this sale a stock of furniture which, in size and variety, is four or five average stocks in one, and in character and uniform desirable ness one stock in thousands. It is four or five average stocks in one, but it is a carefully selected stock all the way through. It is the largest stock in the world exclusively confined to things people want. Nothing else could make such a sale as this but a stock of such size and character.
